The simple pleasure of catching the rings with your baton.

Mignon!

Sunday at the Jardin du Luxembourg is always on my list. Parisians of all ages flock there. The parents with their young children are always a favorite of mine. This precious girl with her Poppa were such fun to photograph.

La femme dans le jardin

I have no idea what she was thinking this Sunday afternoon in Luxembourg Gardens. I was thinking how much I love this place and wishing I didn't have to leave Paris!

Honestly, when I happen upon scenes like this , I feel it's a gift to be able to capture a special moment in time.

Paris Photo

Another plus for visiting Paris in November is Paris Photo. Everywhere you look around the city you will find wonderful photography exhibits, many free. The Jardin du Luxembourg always has something interesting on their fence- this trip fabulous photos of ocean life. Of course the big event is always held the Grand Palais. I've toyed with visiting this mega exhibit but decided it was too much to take in with limited time. Meredith Mullins says it's sensory overload and has to take it in on several visits. Maybe I'll get there one day. Until then, I will continue to enjoy all the other exhibits that Paris has to offer.

Sieste à Paris

This sunny day at Luxembourg Gardens, these two seem to have just found a green chair and taken a much needed nap. Oh I've been there.

Les joueurs d'echecs

This Sunday afternoon at Luxembourg Gardens, this jeune fille was holding her own in chess.  I talked with her  mother and father and found out she was 8 years old and her dad,  a chess instructor.  He seemed pleased with how she was doing with a much older opponent.

Sometimes, no matter if you are a Parisian or a tourist, you must just pull up a green chair and relax....
